Out of the ones that definitely appeared, choose 2 in the poll below that you’d most like to see:

Which **TWO** of these potential 2017 WWE DVD sets would you most like to see released?

I would definitely like to see a compilation of “The Rockers” matches on blu-ray. Also, more Undertaker, Warrior, and Shawn Michaels. The best of Saturday Night’s Main Event and also some of the best tag team wrestling on blu-ray. That’s all I have to say. thank very much.

I just think that coming out with another Randy Orton, Brock Lesnar, Undertaker without him talking about his history and thoughts, No moreJohn”Superman” Cena DVD’s for another 10 years.I like everyone except Cena who can’t wrestle and ruined wrestling for making the call about the WWE being PG.I Hate Cena because I’ve never missed any wrestling episodes on TV.from 1984 till 2013.OR when CM Punkin Left.Cena is the biggest ass kisser to the right people and Nikki Bella is stupid for being with a known cheater even when he was married. He ruined us watching Mickie James and I’m glad she’s back from wrongful termination and screwed a lot of other Divas.So a wrestler that Vince McMahon turns a blind eye on Cenal & Triple H or “Vince McMahon Jr.” I should say, The WWE is looking like the dying days of WCW.Steve Austin, Shawn Michael’s don’t like to watch it anymore, just like me and if nothing exciting happens soon,WWE will be no more. God those 10 announcers Suck.Not 1 of them can replace Jim Ross or any good ones behind JR and the King will never be replaced.For example Michael Cole still sucks.Whatever did they see in him.And JBL too with all those new announcers sucks.Whatever too.I don’t know what the referee’s names are either. And the 2016 Hell in the Cell put me sleep 3 times

What the Hell are you talking about? You should get on your hands and knees and Thank John for continuing to wrestle for you ingrates, for if he does leave WWE is finished for good – and Yeah, That’s a Fact!!

I wish that the WWE would stop releasing the same wrestlers like Brock Lesnar for example. He already has a DVD about him that was released 3 years ago.And when he 1st.started wrestling,he only wrestled for what 2 years & now we have another DVD about himself that ever since he came back what he only wrestles on PPV./Network.So from his comeback till now wrestling equals less than before including his comeback. I like Brock,but again this is a example of why I won’t get his or others DVD’s.I would like it if WWE would make DVD’s on wrestlers from the 80’s-90’s.I would like to see The Freebirds,Jesse Ventura, JYD,&more of the NWA/WCW,WCCW,WWF,AWA,&The other territorys they talked about in Legends of Wrestling on the WWE NETWORK.Which they need to continue to work on wrestling from all the territories I’ve mentioned. But if coming out with 2nd.DVD’s on wrestlers I would add Andre the Giant,Roddy Pipers, AWA,UWF/Mid-South Watts,&NWA/byJCP.&WCCW.

I voted for the “Rick Rude” documentary and the “History of the Tag Team Titles”.

I actually got much more anxious about the “Kurt Angle” and “Undertaker” not making it high enough on the list, as these two titles are actually much more needed right now.

But as Ric says below, How about that WAY overdue “Arn Anderson” documentary?
And a “Battle Royal – Over The Top” compilation would also be very high on the list of badly needed releases, that I think everyone into wrestling can agree with me on.

Plus please consider releasing “History of” sets for the rest of the belts too, as that would look so cool on the shelves. “Womens Championship Belt”, “Cruiserweight…”, “ECW…” and so on.
But please also a “History of the Territorial Championship Belts”, as more history about all the long gone territories must be told.

I recall reading before Fabulous Moolah died (how long ago that was!) that the WWE went to her home and recorded 9 hours of interviews with her and Mae Young for a documentary on either their respective careers or women’s wrestling in general. And nothing seems to have ever come of that. I wonder why they are still sitting on that footage?

Speaking of that trio of tag teams, a WWE Rivalries episode on their TLC matches as well as a Rivalries set with a sit-down interview similar to Bret/HBK would be a real seller and I’d be one of the buyers. For the interview to truly work though, I think all the participants in the rivalry should participate. But two of them – Jeff & Matt Hardy – are currently in TNA so maybe once they’re done there….

Sid dvd would be awesome, very interested to hear about his incident with anderson. Taker dvd will be great hopefully a 3 disc blu ray makes you think he will be inducted next hof. Hardcore dvd is great aswell kind of like getting another attitude era release because I highly doubt we will see a volume 4

While the Hardcore set is without a doubt good, I just think the 2001 WWF Hardcore DVD which I already have captured the spirit of the division just fine, and it kinda bugs me that there are some repeats from that. I’m not gonna buy the new set basically just to have some matches from 2002, most of which I have on the PPV Tagged Classics DVDs anyway.Plus I can watch the original DVD without sidebars. 🙂

hardcore set is must have. The sets next year looks good-rude & dibiase are both overdue. I wouldn’t mind sid’s set. I don’t think a henry set would be good nor warrior unreleased matches. I mean ive seen two sets of warrior & not many classic matches by him. a kurt angle set could set up a return, which would be friggin awesome! OH ITS TRUE, ITS DAMN TRUE! goldy needs one too. peace out, loki in the 670

The Hardcore Championship DVD is getting to be a MUST HAVE in my collection. I haven’t collect much DVD’s in the last 4 or 5 years. The latest thing I have picked up was NXT Greatest Matches Vol. 1…

As for the survey, I’d love for the TOP 3 as Kurt Angle released, Undertaker 4-5 Discs set, and Goldust. Goldust aka Dustin Runnels is long overdue for a set. His character is one of my all time favorite growing up.

I remember WWE putting out a fan survey on potential DVD’s sometime back before The Network launched. A lot of these names were on there. I distinctly remember Taker, Kane, Shane, Goldust, Ted Dibiase bein on that list. There’s topics I wanna be as the subject of WWE releases. But of the topics that are on the above list, I want:

Mark Henry – As a longtime member of the roster, his story deserves to be told.

Sid – Been wanting a Sid doc for a long time now myself.

Dibiase – Same as Sid. A Dibiase doc was reportedly “in the works” a couple of years ago. No idea why it never materialized. But WWE would do good by releasing it.

Goldust – Love to see a doc on Dustin with one or more chapters focusing on Goldust. Regarding the Rhodes Family set, better released had it been done while Dusty was still alive.

History of Tag Team Championship – If it’s anything like the IC & the upcoming US Title release, it’ll be good!

Kurt Angle – A doc on Kurt Angle makes a hell of a lot of sense. It’s true! It’s true!

Undertaker – A long awaited career documentary like Stone Cold’s The Bottom Line set should be done after Taker enters the HOF so that like Austin’s set, the entire career will be covered in one doc.

Oh man SID?! I would buy it definitely but its just funny. Sid was actually my favorite wrestler in 1996. There would be some good rare content though. Hopefully interviews too but not for the reasons you’d think….in other words for the camp value.

I’m left looking at this list and left scratching my head, thinking “What’s the point?” While the DVD format continues to die a slow death and the Network featuring more of the docs, I’m seeing less reason to do so many of these.

Health & Fitness – Uh….ok?

Sheamus – Interesting for a Network WWE/24 special but beyond that?

Black History – Interesting, but this likely isn’t much we haven’t already seen before.

Mark Henry – Another doc or mini-doc I’d like to see but perhaps again best suited for WWE 24 special.

Rising Superstars and Epic Undercard – Uh….no.

Iron Man matches – so you can include 10-15 matches? No thanks.

WWE Live In – I really don’t see the point unless you’re gonna focus on famous venues and the city itself. This is more of a Network thing I think.

Goldust – Rhodes: See Mark Henry/Sheamus.

Ultimate Warrior – WWE really stretched out his “best” matches on his previous DVD set. Not much else to see.

Hart Foundation – Is there a ton more that wasn’t covered ion the Hart & Soul documentary??

Sycho Sid – See Epic Undercards.

30 Years of Survivor Series – Half the doc about Undertaker, half the doc about Montreal? Sorry, no interest here.

Tag Team titles – Possibly, but I’m not sure what direction this would take.

DiBiase, HBK Unreleased and Rick Rude are all interesting ideas.

Kurt Angle – A career spanning doc and compilation is a no brainer.

Undertaker – a career spanning doc and collections with a new Undertaker interview, discussing his entire career. This is the holy grail of WWE DVDs.

Kurt Angle sounds good in theory however many of his great matches were with Benoit, same as the ironman set sounds good but the only ironman match I dont own is Benoit vs HHH 2004, needless to say probably wont make the cut. I would go with NXT Vol.2 for sure, and history of tag titles. Any word on if perhaps WCW Greatest PPV Matches Vol.2?

Also that Hardcore 24/7 is looking like release of the year contender.

if they did a angle dvd it just be matches with a host like ? Jericho or Edge maybe someone who angle had a long feud with.

as far as benoit on angle dvd EHhhhh maybe ? odds arnt good and the ironman dvd O GOD WHY!!!! hhh rock is already on the hhh dvd and lesnar angle is on the new lesnar dvd so why is ironman match dvd even a idea ?

I can definitely confirm that there must’ve been two completely different surveys that WWE sent out because the one I was e-mailed last night is the one that listed an Andre documentary, best Women’s matches, NXT Vol. 2, a Stephanie documentary, an Orton documentary, a Vince vs Bischoff greatest rivalries sitdown interview, Dreamer vs Raven sitdown interview, Taz vs Sabu sitdown interview, a Punk compilation, a New Day compilation, an unreleased 1986-1995 set, a box set of History Of WWE year-by-year, a Bruno documentary, a best of 1997: 20th anniversary set, and a bunch more. Very strange that they would send out surveys with different potential titles in each one.

Picked Undertaker, obviously.. and Iron Man matches compilation: hope it would be an anthology edition, so I finally can get to see the HHH vs. Benoit match..and the Anything goes match between Orton and Cena finally gets a well deserved blue release (which should be done with everything filmed in HD from RR ’08 and forward)

Very interesting topics.. but, Sid..really!? And HBK unreleased..? well, the Kliq seems to still rule, so why not also have a Diesel and X-Punk release too then..

The Undercard-release could be cool, but definitely -not- with those names.. I wish it would be more focused on names like Doink (heel), Bezerker, the Goon, Tugboat (or make a vol. 2 of True Giants!)

Health and Fitness.. noooo thanks.. save that for a free give away when you buy a membership at a fitness center franchise that WWE problaly in the future will put money in.

Ultimate Warrior matches are most welcome, just keep it to the matches.. Everything else, is also in the range of excited (Angle and Survivor Series especially) to interesting.

Happy to see that WWE actually still seems to acknowledges their fanbase of physical media collector’s.. I like to think that WDN is one of the reasons why.. 🙂

Just 2, I wish we could vote on more than 2, there’s a whole bunch that I want to see released. Rick rude, tag titles(both wwe and wcw), ted dibiase, black history, there’s other ones also. It looks good, maybe I’ll actually get interested in shopping for wrestling videos again. Or maybe not, it depends on what wwe is actually going to release. I don’t want to get my hopes up, I have a bad case of getting my hopes up.

Undertaker, Ultimate Warrior and HBK have all had multiple sets for them in just the last few years so none of those should be made already when Angle, Rude, DiBiase, Sid, Goldust and Mark Henry don’t have one. Where is Christian though!?!
